Family Game Night - Week 2
Dave on July 20th, 2008
Perry Family Game Night was delayed this week due to work schedules beyond our control, but what it lacked in promptness, it made up for in complete domination.
The humiliation I predicted last week was dished out, but not the way I expected. This was Kathy’s week to choose, and she moved us off the kitchen table and on to the GameCube for a night of Mario Kart: Double Dash. Tiny Dancer wrecked us. We raced 12 times; kid won 8. Kathy and I traded second place finishes fairly evenly, but the night certainly belonged to Tiny Dancer.
After leaving tire tracks and grease stains all over her parents, Tiny Dancer wasn’t finished, at least with me. She dragged me into Mario Kart’s battle modes for more beatings. After several spirited bouts of Shine Sprite tag and Bob-omb lobbing, she dropped me 7-5.
Still, Little League rules apply, so everyone got ice cream whether they won or not. Tiny Dancer gets to pick the game next week, which can only mean worse things for me. And think how things will go for me in two weeks when she turns seven.
